Elektra Gets Stamped

USA Today reports that Terence Stamp &#Array; forever known as the vengeful General Zod in Superman II &#Array; will return to the comic book movie genre with Elektra.

The newspaper didn't specify who Stamp is playing but IGN FilmForce has confirmed that he's been offered the role of Elektra's grizzled, elder mentor Stick. Sources advised us, however, that the USA Today report was slightly premature as Stamp's deal is not yet finalized.

According to Marvel, "Elektra later joined the noble order of warriors led by Stick. She honed her fighting skills to the peak of human perfection, but Stick saw that Elektra was filled with pain over her father's death and with hatred for the world she blamed for it."

IGN FilmForce can also reveal that Kirstin Prout, a young actress whose TV credits include appearances on Jeremiah and Stargate: SG-1, has been cast in the role of Abby. Character breakdowns posted online claim that Abby is the 13 year-old daughter of Mark Miller, the target Elektra has been hired to assassinate only to fall in love with.
